This cot (bought 2 copies!) Can not be used directly without any tinkering. In fact, the fabric is too short to be stretched between the headstock and the cross leg and taking into account the material used, it 'has' no strength. It is therefore a cross tinkering to adapt and use the bed Besides the manufacturing quality is poor, I got injured on non-trimmed studs and a cross is more or less crushed. Logically, I should return these non-compliant products, but I needed it and I managed to adapt wooden sleepers to use the beds.
